Greetings!
I as well am glad they avoided the "action MMO" trend that has cropped up, while I don't mind the idea in and of itself, I think there is a lot of refinement of systems required to support what it seems they're just trying to stuff in. (with mixed results)
Taking on a non-dps role can certainly be fun but i've not had the "burn out" issue since EQ, so i'm a bit out of touch i'll admit.
On the topic of Arcanist it was my understanding that it wouldn't be available until launch, but i'd love to be proven wrong, i'm quite excited for it as well.
Elezen are not that common though I think it largely due to a mixture of some what "uncanny" physical attributes and some of the lore not being too appealing for some. The Hyur appear (to me) to have the advantage of a wider set of circumstances to pull from, the somewhat typical "we're everywhere and there's nothing you can do to stop it." but take from that what you will.
I think I heard rumblings (in the skype chat) of an EU linkshell for coordination being brain stormed so you'll likely not have much trouble finding others to jump in along with.
Just as a note, the non-legacy server for the RPC is Gilagamesh, though i'm sure Midgardsormr will have some interesting events.
Hope to see you in Eorzea, please let us know if you have any questions, feel free to peruse the wiki, take a break, have a kit-kat.
cheers,
